Win from Within

"There's a famous saying from Peter Drucker, that "culture eats strategy for breakfast." However, there's a contrary assertion in management circles that strategy is "hard," while culture is "soft." The impact of a strategy on growth and profit can be measured, quantified, analyzed to the finest detail; while that of a culture cannot, as it is supposedly more flexible, subjective, and difficult to assess in detail. If you get the core values shared by everyone right, the rest will take care of itself. A strong culture helps assure good performance. Changing an organization's culture takes a very long time. In this book, Heskett asserts that all of these claims are essentially wrong. Culture is not soft, and its impact on profit and long-term competitive success can be quantified. Too many efforts to change a culture peter out after an initial push to identify values shared by everyone in the organization. A strong culture can support very good performance in some organizations, but can cause poor performance in others if it reinforces bad habits. But with the proper leadership, culture change can be engineered in months, not years, and certainly within a CEO's tenure. Utilizing case studies, stories of management in action, and carefully constructed numbers, this book explores the importance of culture in providing a base for strategic change"--

An inspiring guide to playing your personal best in the sport of life As an orthopedic surgeon, a finish-line physician, and a USA team doctor at the World Cup and the Olympics, Dr. Bert Mandelbaum has witnessed the trials and triumphs of elite athletes from a vantage point few of us get. And over his twenty-plus years of experience, he’s identified a common character trait that every elite athlete relies upon for success: it’s what he calls the “victorious spirit.” In The Win Within, Mandelbaum reveals that any of us—no matter our age or physical condition—can capture that same spirit in our own lives. This inner drive to win resides in all of us, he argues, hardwired into our DNA by ancestry dating back millions of years. You’ll learn how to view life the way a top-performing athlete does: relentlessly, tenaciously, positively, and focusing less on the finish line of the marathon and more on the 26.2 miles that precede it. With narrative support ranging from the lessons of our early ancestors to Mandelbaum’s stories of our modern-day gladiators (both household name and lesser known), The Win Within will give you a greater understanding of how and why we’re all hardwired to win—and you’ll come away with no shortage of tactics and motivation to capture your own victorious spirit.

With principles developed while teaching negotiation at Harvard Law School and coaching executives around the world, Fox provides a map for understanding your inner world and a method for sorting yourself out. Fox uses insights from Western psychology and Eastern philosophy to resolve the gap between what people know they should say and what they actually do. She explains how to master your “inner negotiators,” whether working with a difficult client, struggling with a stubborn spouse, or developing your highest leadership potential. With a Foreword by William Ury, coauthor of the classic bestseller Getting to Yes, Winning from Within: A Breakthrough Method for Leading, Living, and Lasting Change is your guide to greatness.
